Trudeau spoke well. I did not vote for him but he is doing great work these days. Under his leadership, all Canadians are united in this fight against the USA. He is absolutely right, this stupid war will have no winners, only losers, with the exception of Russia. To the Americans who voted for Trump or did not bother to vote at all, this is on you.

Canadians can't stand Trudeau.

Caaaaareful tough guy. Like Trump told Zalinsky .....you have ZERO cards. Trudeau has been trying to ignite hatred against the Trump party since day one. Trying to look tough in front of Canadians. Then he goes to Marlago and sucks Trumps dyck and leaves eith his tail between his legs. Socialist leaders are all done. Their politics are dead. Leftists have destroyed everything in their paths for 70 years now. The only people left that are.....left.....is the Governments and the LGBT

For your information Trudeau resigned as the Prime Minister of Canada. Canadians are waiting for a federal election date to be announced. After 9 years Canadians overwhelmingly want rid of this fool. Our economy is in ruins long before the American people elected Donald Trump

THIS is what I expected from US government - federal and state! Excellent points made by Trudeau, and his restraint is incredible given the abject tone used toward Canadians!

Trudeau is a disgrace to Canada. Canada is nothing without the support of the US. This ends badly for the Canadians.

? All I’ll say. If Canadians had an election tomorrow? Trudeau wouldn’t win. ? it’s funny, why hasn’t he resigned ……. this is what a dictator looks like. The world hates him, not just Canadians.

Lololololol. We don't need Canada, Canada needs AMERICA.\nSo you put Canadians through more strain. Your a creep trudeau.

❤Bravo Trudeau! Best regards for all brave Canadians❤

Trudeau is more for canadians than trump is for us. A real leader in canada.

We Canadian stand with the American people, and President Trump CARES AND PUT AMERICA INTEREST FIRST UNLIKE OUR DUMB PM TRUDEAU WHO IS STEPPED DOWN BECAUSE WE CANADIAN ARE TIRED OF HIS WOKE AGENDA AND WHOREMONGER SUPPORTING THE ONGOING WAR IN UKRAINE WASTING OUR TAX PAYRES MONEY AND THERE ARE LOT OF HOMELESS CANADIANS, FAMILIES WHO BARELY GET BY. TRUDEAU DOES NOT CARE ABOUT CANADIAN WE KNOWS THIS TO BE FACT BY HIS ACTION AND HOW HE RUN OUR PROSPEROUS COUNTRY INTO DEBT.

Trudeau doesn’t even have to announce tariffs on American good, we the people of Canada are boycotting American good. And we might no just be do this for the next 4 years but for generations of Canadians to come. Go scream at Trump and Vance not us, you did this when you voted for Trump.

Canadians are reasonable? They elected Trudeau? They'll never recover from that stupidity !!

You, Trudeau are a lying Dictator. Canadians get rid of this malignant Marxist extremist.

CANADIANS ARE REASONABLE, OUR PRIME MINISTER IS THE LUNATIC.\nJUSTIN WANTS TO KEEP THE WAR GOING IN UKRAINE. TRUMP WANTS IT TO END.\nJUSTIN IS A HOMICIDAL MANIAC. AS FOR A TRADE WAR, THIS IS NOT A TRADE WAR. TRUMP IS BRINGING THE WORK BACK TO NORTH AMERICA. TRUDEAU THE GLOBALIST WANTS TO KEEP MAKING A COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP WEALTHY.\nWE PAID 7 % PST BEFORE FREE TRADE. 15 % AFTER.\nTHATS NOT FREE TRADE. CANADIANS NOW PAY CHINAS TARIFFS.\nMULROONEY GAVE BUSH SRS EULOGY. WHO SOLD CANADA OUT TO GLOBALISTS. THE BUSH FAMILY CHASED ROSS PEROT OFF.

I'm Canadian and trudeau is so full of crap when he talks, trudeau hasn't done crap to improve our military. He knows what he needs to do to prevent these tariffs but he still wanted free drugs to cross the border same with illegals, Trudeau doesnt care about canadians at all

Trudeau is a communist. No one cares what he has to say including most Canadians.

As a Canadian a citizen ,I am more than angry ,I am ashamed and embarrassed at the Trudeau government ! All the liberals needed to do is fix borders and take care of the devastation safe supply sites which Canadian citizens have been calling for ,for years !! Disgusting ! United States have been friends and neighbours throughout most of Canadian history and this selfish greedy corrupted PM just destroyed all of it for nothing but to impose himself on the seat since we are going to war ! Detestable! Trudeau is the threat to Canadians not Trump ! ??????❤️and remember this clown Trudeau is suppose to be stepping down in the coming days ! Think about how selfish and careless these liberals are !

Trudeau does not have a mandate. He does not speak for Canadians. Trudeau and Singn are traitors to Canada.

Of course it's CNN. Trudeau, you do not represent Canadians. You have destroyed Canada and only now because of Trump you are dealing with the horrid fentanyl problem that is killing our communities. You have not fixed our health care system nor our political system. YOU NEED TO JUST GO, STOP YOUR EGO DRIVEN LAST GASP AT LEADERSHIP. You prorogued our own government, basically shut down debate and decision making in Canada while you parade yourself around the global world. NOW YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT CANADA FIRST, when a short two months ago you were pushing Canada for the past 9 years as a post national state. You are posturing and have no credibility in Canada or globally. YOU DID NOT WORK WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU CAME UP WITH NO PLAN BASED ON WHAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE U.S. YOU JUST WANT TO PREEN AND SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA AND SKIRT AROUND RESPECTFUL NEGOTIATIONS WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP BECAUSE YOU ARE MANIPULATING TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. Just take that walk Trudeau and be gone, you have 3 more days and then we do not want to see you again.

Why is Trudeau citing everything Trump did, just to be left alone. This is what it had to take to finally get the Canadians to further help the fight against evil.

All of a sudden Trudeau wants to take care of us, Canadians? What a liar. This guy resigned in January and has lost all credibility for Canadians.

A Canadian business associate of mine refers to Justin Trudeau as a 'Useless waste of skin'. As an American, the idiom was new to me. I'd just call him a bag of crap. Canadians give him a 'flush' at your earliest opportunity, please!

Kudos to Trudeau and Canadians! Hang tough with the American citizenry who also abjectly disagree with Txxxx and Mxxx. \n\nThank you for Canada’s position. \n\nForts sont les Canadiens et forts sont les citoyens Américains.

To The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau. Thank you for standing up for Canadians. You make us proud.

Yeah we Indians know how reasonable Trudeau is with his megaphone diplomacy...pls change this leader of yours...Canadians can't go to US.. india...china fr trade

Don't listen to the media. Trudeau is an idiot who destroyed our great country of Canada. Most Canadians are against him here. He turned our great country from a peacekeeper to an aggressor, just so the Liberals stay in power. Trump and JD Vance are correct. Zelensky has no cards to dictate the terms of agreement. He cannot just keep receiving billions of dollars from the USA with no accountability, and continue the war for years and years while he profits and stays in power. Enough is enough.

Trudeau is protecting Canada and Canadians. Felon Trump is destroying America and Americans. I stand up for Canada. We Americans will pay the price of Felon Trumps actions .We will stay strong. Call your legislators ,

Trudeau has done more for us as Prime Minister since he stepped down than the whole time he was Prime Minister. Canadians love Americans and Trump's bullying is causing this political fallout, dividing our best friends and neighbors.

Awesome! I never been a great Trudeau fan, but what a speech!. My respects to all canadians and their President.

Canadians are reasonable, so is it fair that Trudeau is increasing our carbon taxes another 20% next month? Please reason that neon double standard. He’s literally the worst PM in Canadian history. \nIn Nov 2024 the BIGGEST drug bust in Canadian history took place in BC. The amount of fentanyl alone would have killed the entire population of Canada TWICE. International cartels involved. So if it takes tariffs to make our borders safe, that’s on Trudeau, not Trump. This security should have been sorted out a long time ago.

I understand Canadians' support of Trudeau has waned over the years, but I must say he is a very charismatic speaker.

Not always a Trudeau fan; but DAMN his speech was CLEAR AND FACT CHECKING and it laid out everything and made trump look like a STUPID LYING FOOL who has no clue what these tarrifs will do to BOTH our economies. I m PROUD of Trudeau for his speech and standing up for Canadians.

Good and honest words from Prime Minister Trudeau to Canadians, Americans, the world and Trump, who is called dumb. A fair and undeniable description, but only Americans can change their government.

Yet, a majority of Canadians are so full of hatred themselves and want to replace Trudeau with a Trumper named Pierre Poilieve. This is how stupid people are all over the world, this is not just a US thing. The Trump propaganda forced Trudeau to step down for no real reason. He let in too many immigrants yes,,but so did every other world leader, thats it, but enough for the Canada Trumpers to throw away free health care. Trunpers in Ontario just won a landslide with Dictator Doug Ford.\nOnce Pierre Poilieve takes charge we will be paying for healthcare and a 51st state. \nCanadians are making the same mistake due to fake news and propaganda by Trumpers/Truckers. Those Canadians dont want free health care anymore, they want Pierre Poilieve's hate filled agenda over a smart well spoken guy like Trudeau. Just watch and see...Canada is about to f up bad..

Prime Minister Trudeau has spoken calmly the Truth of the situation, that Trump has imposed upon Canada and the USA.\nTrump does not care how much American people will Suffer, and has utter contempt for Canadians.\nThese Tariffs are Stupid and Pointless, that will do no good for Canada or the USA, and will hurt the USA the Most.

Remember when Trudeau froze the bank accounts of truckers who dared to protest against him? He sounds scared in this speech, Canadians need to remove him from office for their own prosperity and freedom.

Trump doesn't care what Trudeau thinks, just like Canadians don't care anymore either.

I don't know what Canadians have against Trudeau but I'd gladly take him as president over Trump in a heartbeat.

Trudeau has harmed Canadians way more than Trump ever could. It's really rich to hear this speech from his mouth.

Canadians are frustrated and are choosing to stop buying U.S. products, but Trudeau escalating tensions into a trade war with a partner is just escalating the issue. Plus Canada cannot win this battle. \n\nLeadership change - Trudeau needs to go. Every time Trudeau opens and closes the door he creates a mess. \n\n(Note: open discussions on current events is essential, its too bad the Canadian shut down our rights to speak on media platforms)

Doug Ford or Trudeau’s reciprocal actions against the U.S. are secondary to me as a Canadian. For days, they’ve been misleading the public with talk of imposing tariffs on U.S. goods or cutting power supply, but that’s not the real issue. \n \nWhat truly matters is how our government is actively mitigating the economic impact. Are they securing new markets? Have they repaired strained relations with China, which were damaged in 2021 over the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou to appease the U.S.? Are we expanding oil exports to Japan, India, or China? Have we dispatched trade delegations worldwide to open new opportunities? \n \nWrong move. Canada doesn't have a functioning government. There is no mandate. The Prime Minister has resigned. Parliament is not in session. There is no reason to escalate. The focus should be on finding a solution the root cause of why the tariff was put in place over the border and fentanyl. \n \nIf not, then all these moves by Ford or Trudeau are meaningless—just political maneuvering to distract Canadians from the real problem.

You guys are forgetting trudeau is unilaterally hated by all canadians and stepping down ???

Only he wasn't speaking directly to trump. He was speaking to a camera. Pretending to be a tough guy. \nAlso he said Canadians are reasonable and polite... except for the fact that a buncha drunken bostonians still behaved better than every Canadian hockey fan that ever existed a couple weeks ago when the Canadians booed our national anthem. \nF canada. F trudeau what a scumbag.

Well said Justin. You are really showing your chops! I You are polite and you have backbone! We have seen such great leadership from Trudeau and Zelensky! How does the world support Canadians?

We Canadians are screwed having this loser as our PM he's a member of a fringe minority with unacceptable views... Trudeau breaks law after law scandal after scandal when will he be held accountable.....

Stop lieing to us its TRUDEAU THATS A DICTATOR AND SO IS ZELINSKI.... I THOUGHT YOU RESIGNED WHY ARE YOU EVEN SPEAKING FOR CANADIANS AT ALL ... GO AWAY

We are all Canadians.... Bravo Trudeau!

Trudeau understood the assignment. He knew exactly who he was speaking to: not just to Canadians but directly to Americans and beyond.

I completely agree with what trump did. He’s doing an amazing job! Funny that Trudeau is trying to put forth the same false narratives as our Democratic Party does. You can tell that he def watches cnn and MSNBC. \nThe American people don’t like you Trudeau. Your own people hate you too. You’re a tyrant. What you’ve done to the Canadians is sick. Especially with taking away free speech and jailing people for hateful speech. \nYou people in Canada actually give heroin and cocaine to people who want it at certain safe injection sites. Don’t try to act like you’re really about stopping the drug flow.
